United States of America v. Scott Robinson

Pensacola, Florida, criminal defense lawyer represents the defendant charged with drug alteration.

Reported by Kent Morlan

Scott Robinson, 51, of Pace, Florida, via his website, advertised and sold the animal drug toltrazuril to customers across the United States. Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, toltrazuril is deemed an adulterated new animal drug, which is subject to specific requirements for its production, labeling, and sale. The Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted multiple purchases of items labeled and advertised as toltrazuril from the defendant’s website. Those items were tested by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and confirmed to contain toltrazuril. The defendant never complied with FDA regulations regarding his production, labeling, and sale of toltrazuril.

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
